Machiach, Machiach!

Parshas Ki Teitzei continues discussing how when mashiach arrives, Israel will expand to become the entire world. We are currently in the period awaiting the mashiach. The way to bring mashiach is through the act of cheesed- doing kindness without any expectation to receive anything back! Just like a parent/child relationship, the parents endlessly give to the child without expecting anything in return, we too should learn to develop this middah with all the people we encounter. We are ALL Hashem’s children. He does so much for us that the least we can do is help His children, our very own brothers and sisters. Take a few minutes each day and see how you can change the world, community or even your own home. Essentially, through extra acts of kindness, we are speedily bringing the machiach and the expansion of Eretz Israel!
